INDIAN DRUGS & PHARMACEUTICALS LTD. vs WORKMAN,INDIAN DRUGS &PHARMACEUTICAL LTD

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision that the ten casual workers, appointed due to the death of employees in harness, were not entitled to regularization under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that the employer's financial difficulties and the lack of a policy for compassionate appointments justified the non-regularization. The ruling clarified that casual workers do not automatically gain rights to regular employment merely due to prolonged service, reinforcing the principle that employment must adhere to established policies and financial viability.
